Figures & data
Figure 1 Schematic of the N. gonorrhoeae nL1 HGT event. (A) Gene organization of a full-length L1 retrotransposable element (Genbank, U09116.1). The sequence corresponding the nL1 fragment found in N. gonorrhoeae is indicated by the black line below the L1 element. The horizontal lines above the L1 element indicate approximate locations of sequences that were identified by BLAST analysis as having a high degree of similarity to other bacterial genome or protein sequences, as described in the text. The NCBI DNA and protein accession numbers given above the lines indicate the specific bacterial sequences that exhibit identity to L1. (B) The nL1 fragment (orange) containing portions of L1 ORF1 and the 5′ UTR is shown in relation to neighboring gonococcal genes (gray arrows).
